The Best Laid Plans...

Well, it may surprise you to know that I am posting from Valley Stream, NY.  "What?" you say, she said she was going to New Mexico, then California.  True that, so what's up?  Fact is, I am trying to make light of sad, sad, terrible news...

Mom had a heart attack on Tuesday, and died on Friday.  The good news is that I was able to get there in time to kiss her goodbye, and hold her hand.  Now, it's time for the rites of passage...

The other good news is, I get to see so many people that I love this week, and that is enough to hold on to.

As for the book, it will be there next week, when I will dust it off and get excited all over again.
